It wold help if you can provide a copy of the errors you're getting. I
would also include the output of smartctl -a /dev/sdb as well as the
last relevant data from dmesg when you get these errors.
(Maybe run a dmesg -c prior to your format or badblocks, run the drive
commands that create errors, then copy everything new in dmesg)
